[[File:Giulio Romano - Fresco on the north wall (detail) - WGA09554.jpg|thumb|right|Detail of the ''[[Fall of the Giants (Romano)|Sala dei Giganti]]'' in the [[Palazzo del Te]], [[Mantua]], c. 1530, [[Giulio Romano (painter)|Giulio Romano]]]]

The subject was revived in the Renaissance, most famously in the frescos of the ''[[Fall of the Giants (Romano)|Sala dei Giganti]]'' in the [[Palazzo del Te]], [[Mantua]]. These were painted around 1530 by [[Giulio Romano (painter)|Giulio Romano]] and his workshop, and aimed to give the viewer the unsettling idea that the large hall was in the process of collapsing. The subject was also popular in [[Northern Mannerism]] around 1600, especially among the [[Haarlem Mannerists]], and continued to be painted into the 18th century.<ref>Hall, James, ''Hall's Dictionary of Subjects and Symbols in Art'', p. 140, 1996 (2nd edn.), John Murray, {{ISBN|0719541476}}</ref>
